LONDON, Aug. 8. The German
official report tonight claims that
the resistance of the Russians has
been broken between Lomsa and the
mouth ot the Bug river. Thus
whether the Russians have been de-
has ended.
For Just three weeks the Germans
under the supreme command of Field
Marshal von Hlndenburg have been
trying to force this front, which
usually is refered to as that of the
Narew, and to cut off the Russian
armies In their retreat from Warsaw.
That not until three days after the
evacuation ot Warsaw hat ths line
given way leads BrltUh critics to the
conclusion that the Russian with
drawal was a voluntary one and that
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief
of the Russian forces, certain ot
the safety of his Warsaw army, has
abandoned bit struggle on the
Narew. . .

There is little change In the other
sections of the Tolish salient. The Rus
sians are atlll holding tha eastern bank
of the Vistula, Including Praga, a suburb
Of Warsaw, and at least are delaying
the German advance across the river,
while in the southeast neither General
von Mackensen nor Archduke Joseph Fer
dinand has made much progress, being
still little more than twenty miles north
of the Lublln-Chelm railway, which they
crossed a week ago, the resistance, which
